    Pokémon: Adventure to Empire Isle... the re-release!

    Background
    I started this ROM hack back in 2011. I gave up part way through and to be honest, my scripting skills were pretty poor. Fast forward ten years and I stumbled across the ROM hacking community once more. I found a copy of my ROM hack online and decided it needed a refresh. I started from scratch and have completely re-made the game from the ground up.

    The current release of the game contains 10-14 hours of gameplay, includes 6 gyms as well as an optional additional gym.

    Storyline
    Welcome to Empire Isle!

    Empire Isle is a beautiful oceanside region and is home to an abundance of rare and powerful wild Pokémon. You will find Pokémon from all generations across the region with an enormous variety for you to catch, train and battle. As you explore Empire Isle you will traverse long gruelling routes, small seaside towns and large cities. Every area is designed to be unique and contain their own points of interest.

    During your journey you will get the opportunity to visit other regions from the Pokémon franchise, including Hoenn in the latest release and Sinnoh planned for a future release.

    Team Rocket are back! Team Rocket are more evil than ever and in their pursuit for power and money they have turned to mutating Pokémon. Using these powerful and mutated Pokémon, Team Rocket are tougher than ever. It is down to you to stop the rise of Team Rocket throughout Empire Isle as the grow their operations. You will need to take on and defeat powerful mutant powerful, take down those behind the creating and selling of these mutant Pokémon and put an end to Team Rocket's latest plans.

    Along the way you will learn about the rich history of Empire Isle and begin to uncover secrets behind the mysterious disappearance of the former ruler of Empire Isle.

    Several friendly and not-so-friendly characters feature throughout the story. Some will work by your side and others will work to thwart you, but don't let that stop you becoming the Champion of Empire Isle!

    Hi, do I need to patch this to FireRed 1.0 or 1.1?

    Firered 1.1 I believe (that's what I patched and it seemed OK, I actually can't remember what I used back 10 years ago)

    I am so happy to see this finally happen. I'm going to give this a spin! I hope you consider finishing the final version in due time!

    Awesome! Would appreciate any feedback 😁 enjoy!

    is the physical/special split implemented?

    Unfortunately not. The battle mechanics are standard Firered. My hacking skills are not that advanced.

    If I was to start another hack I'd like to start with the CFRU ROM base. Looks sick.

    Just use a Metal Coat on it... but where you find it? Talk to every NPC you come across. You'll find it!

    Clue: Little boy


    Where do I need to go to find the jigglypuff for the research centre?

    If you head north after defeating the fourth Gym you will find Isle Stonehaven, a cave. Wild Jigglypuff can be found there.

    About the metal coat I tried using it and it doesn't work, I also tried leveling up while holding one also didn't work. As for where I got a metal coat I think it was some kid npc that gave me one but somehow I have 3.

    The legend below has spotted it happens at level 36.... I'll change this if I do a re-release of the game! Sorry for the confusion, but at least you found the Metal Coat.


    According to G3T, it said Scyther evolves level 36

    Legend. Thank you. Will fix this if there is a future release.

    For some reason this tile has a script:

    lol, why is the character eating off of the floor like that? This is an easy fix, thanks again!

    I think I located another bug or glitch that the player cannot enter the Berry Forest, is that supposed to happen?

    Definitely not supposed to happen. I didn't encounter this and I did multiple test playthroughs but somebody else has mentioned this also. Which emulator are you running this on? Was this a one off glitch? Upon leaving and re-entering the map, could you then access Berry Forest?

    Would you let someone help you who can implement the Split? I can't, my hacking skills are 0, but lots of people here are capable of it and might be willing to help.

    Oh 100%. I could learn to do a lot of this stuff myself but I just haven't got the time. I would love to have people help implement several features (with credit of course!).
